Not even close to good entertainment.

The content was not even within imagination of what is real or what could be real. The narration was not entertaining. The reader thought every mili..Show More »tary person has the same character and voice quality (lazy). To much reliance on sex to entertain -- not needed at all and in fact was distracting.

Typical Dale Brown quality

NOT a Dramland Thriller!!!!

This book was a huge disappointment. I have read all the Dreamland books before this and everyone had me interested start to finish. This book literal..Show More »ly made me fall asleep several times. Its set about 15 years after the events in Romania from the last book. The main characters we all know and love are now gone. Zen and Brianna are no longer pilots and have a kid. Dog is mentioned a couple times in passing but thats it. The book is focused, rather poorly, on a new Whiplash team led by Danny Freah, no Megafortress or ANY dreamland tech for that matter. Unfortunately I will not read the rest of the series and I am VERY disappointed by that.

Great Dreamland Action Book!

Brown & DeFelice have written another great book. Their stories move easily as characters move on, move out, die, and in this book, even get cancer.<..Show More »br/>The action is fun and detailed, but not so detailed you have to be a military expert to keep up with it. I listened to this book in two days, staying up way too late one night. I didn't want to go to bed and turn the book off.

The action goes from Iran, to the decision makers in Washington, and back. Filled with daring deeds and includes Delta Forces, the CIA, The Mossad, and of course Dreamland.

Christopher Lane does a great job of voicing the action, so it can be followed easily.
